I Amnesty Day at the Dumpby bill - 2009-05-20 ( life / health / environment ) [html version]That sounds weird, but I just returned from the dump/recycling center, in my case the one on Omohundro Drive. I dropped off the old dishwasher along with my usual recycling and household trash. Anyway, the woman there told me that today (Saturday, May 15) is an unadvertised "amnesty day" when you can drop off ANYTHING (other than nuclear waste, probably), and you can spread it out over three trips. But hurry, I think the centers close at 4 or 4:30. Happy Springby bill - 2010-03-26 ( life / health / environment / weather ) [html version]I am sooooo glad winter is over ... here in Nashville, anyway. I'm also glad we're not getting any flooding like North Dakota. Now, I need to make up for last year in my vegetable garden. Last year was a wash-out because of the late freeze warnings, combined with my back and knee problems. Speaking of my knee, the hospital is still trying to collect payment for that operation because my so-called "insurance" company, Aetna -- more like unnecessary middle man -- refuses to pay them (around $10,000 or $4,800, depending on who you ask), saying that it was a cosmetic surgery, which they don't cover. The only flaw with their argument is that it wasn't "cosmetic surgery." Who has cosmetic surgery on their knee?! Runway models, maybe. You don't want to see me on the catwalk. Aetna had no problem paying the surgeon, anesthesiologist and staff, just not the hospital itself, and it was for the SAME OPERATION! Pinheads. They, Aetna, are just trying to bury me in paperwork. Maybe it's my legal secretary experience, but that sort of tactic doesn't intimidate me. Speaking of legal, does anyone know of a good attorney who's been successful fighting retarded health insurance companies? It might come to that. Speaking of hospitals, my wife Tara had a good idea: I should sign up as an IT temp with Vanderbilt hospital. They have their own temp agency for their IT staffing needs. Temp-to-perm jobs have always gone well for me because I NEVER interview well, but they like me once they see how well I work. I just don't seem to make a good first impression; not with Southern male hiring-managers, anyway. They like me on paper, then they meet me in person and sometimes seem to just have this gut-level dislike of me. Temp-to-perm is how I got the two best jobs I've had in Nashville: first, with Healthtrust (now HCA), where I started as a temp doing Lotus Freelance presentations for the CIO, then "naturally" segued into running their email system; then in 2005, I started with Franklin Industrial Minerals (now Lhoist North America) as a temp "Application Support Specialist", or "A.S.S.", where everything was great until they were bought out by those jerks from Belgium. I almost forgot, I had another temp-to-perm job at Louisville Ladder in Smyrna (just south of Nashville) as their network admin before that plant was shut down and moved to Mexico.

First, we went exploring the new neighborhood being built nearby. I don't know why they're building. There's plenty of existing houses that no one wants to buy. Whatever. At least they've created lots of good dirt piles to climb up and down! But it kills me how they chop down all the trees first. It's just stupid. see Trees add value to a neighborhood! Then I came in and watched the Titans lose to the Broncos -- snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, as they say when someone blows a lead -- while Tara took Elizabeth grocery shopping with her. Then Elizabeth, the pugs and I spent a couple hours at the park. Elizabeth spent most of the time on the playground while I walked the dogs along the extensive paved little trail, with a couple breaks in there. They're pugs, not greyhounds. They -- and I -- need breaks. Winter Has Arrivedby bill - 2010-12-17 ( life / health / environment / weather ) [html version]It's been snowing all day, at least an inch and a half accumulation. Earlier, I put some de-icer on the driveway in preparation for tomorrow morning. Before that, I had to walk the dogs in the snow. You know, pugs don't like snow. It just really throws them off, having to go potty on something white instead of green. Lying here now, blogging and watching Sunday Night Football. I've got two of the three pugs and our only cat with me, asleep. I'm happy to see NBC has at least ONE hit show. :) Besides, there's nothing else on. I'm not going to watch Brothers and Sisters (chick show) or CSI: Miami (pompous lead actor).

I kept showing trails and he kept saying they were just contrails. I kept studying them and photographing them (I have thousands from a few years of photographing them on bike rides) and learned that trails come to be if the plane is above 22,000 feet because the exhaust (with moisture) freezes. The more moisture in the air, the longer the trail lasts (so, trails don't last too long in the dry summer air and are frequently long in the moist winter air). I don't think a trail can be accurately labeled unless somebody samples what is exhausted, what lands on the ground is tested, or you are behind a jet and see special ports spraying stuff.

But what if, instead of fighting nature, we learned to collaborate with it? Across the world, architects, farmers, and engineers are rediscovering the power of working with natural forces rather than trying to dominate them. The Wisdom of Passive CoolingTake, for example, the ingenious design of Gujarat's "Cool House". In a region where summer temperatures soar past 110°F, conventional wisdom might dictate blasting air conditioners to maintain comfort. Instead, the architects of this home embraced nature's own cooling mechanisms. By strategically channeling ocean breezes, incorporating shaded courtyards, and leveraging the "Venturi effect"--which accelerates airflow through narrow spaces--the house stays remarkably cool without relying on artificial climate control. This approach isn't new. Ancient civilizations mastered passive cooling long before modern HVAC systems existed. From wind towers in Persia to underground homes in Tunisia, traditional architecture has long demonstrated that comfort can be achieved by working with the environment rather than against it. Agriculture: Learning from the LandThe same philosophy applies to agriculture. Industrial farming often seeks to dominate nature--monoculture crops, heavy pesticide use, and soil depletion are all consequences of trying to force the land into submission. But regenerative farming flips this mindset. By mimicking natural ecosystems, farmers can "restore soil health, improve biodiversity, and enhance resilience". Techniques like cover cropping, rotational grazing, and agroforestry don't just sustain food production--they actively heal the land. Indigenous agricultural practices have long embodied this wisdom. The "Three Sisters" method, used by Native American communities, pairs corn, beans, and squash in a symbiotic relationship. The corn provides a natural trellis for beans, the beans enrich the soil with nitrogen, and the squash shades the ground, reducing water loss. It's a perfect example of working with nature rather than imposing control. Water Management: Flowing with the SystemWater infrastructure is another area where collaboration with nature yields better results. Instead of rigid dams and concrete canals, cities are increasingly adopting "green infrastructure"--wetlands, permeable pavements, and rain gardens that absorb and filter water naturally. Singapore's Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park transformed a sterile concrete canal into a thriving river ecosystem, reducing flood risks while creating a lush urban oasis. Similarly, the Netherlands, a country historically threatened by rising seas, has shifted from a defensive approach to a "Room for the River" strategy. Instead of building ever-higher dikes, they've restored floodplains, allowing rivers to expand naturally during high water periods. The result? Less flood damage and a healthier ecosystem. A Future Built on PartnershipThe lesson is clear: when we work with nature, we unlock solutions that are more sustainable, resilient, and beautiful. Whether in architecture, agriculture, or urban planning, embracing natural forces leads to designs that endure. Instead of seeing nature as an adversary to be conquered, we should recognize it as a partner--one that has been refining its systems for billions of years. The future of human innovation isn't about control. It's about collaboration. blog version similar posts here ... and elsewhere CommentsWe enjoy free speech.
